Northwest Arizona and Southeast Nevada Hotels

Mid-priced chain accommodations abound in Kingman and Lake Havasu, and to a lesser extent Bullhead City—though the casino resorts across the river in Laughlin are among the best values in the region. You'll also find a few historic hotels to break up the modern mix. Lake Havasu City has the swankiest resorts in the area, with the glittery but reasonably priced casinos in Laughlin also offering some upscale digs. Staying in a houseboat on Lake Havasu or Lake Mead puts a decidedly different twist on water recreation. Best of all, these floating rooms with a view can be maneuvered into countless coves and inlets, allowing for peaceful solitude rarely found on the busy beaches and popular waterways.
